You couldn't make it up, could you?

[naomi24]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least. :o)

[anneasquith]

[murraymints]

Why not ? I think they were forced apart by protocol in the first instance..good luck to them !

[naomi24]

^^ Quite right!

[Mamyalynne]

I think that is lovely.

[anneasquith]

forced apart, the two of them were plonkers !

[Mamyalynne]

Know them well ?

[Baldric]

She's only after his air miles!

[Gromit]

A perfect match. They deserve each other.

[anneasquith]

he needs a new caddy :)

[Peter Pedant]

He has always luuurved her apparently

She is the one that made the running in the divorce
and was a stalking horse for Diana's divorce....

and Diana's husband - he always luuuurved her
which is more than can be said for all the oily middle easterns that she threw herself at....as tho she were some sort of new model Princess Margaret.....

I've read somewhere recently that the Queen invited Sarah to Balmoral for a few days, before the Duke of E was due to arrive. I hope it's true, they have always stayed on good terms with each other however odd the marriage seemed.

[friedgreentomato]

Good luck to them

I did not know you moved in Royal circles anneaquith

[askyourgran]

Peter P are you talking about Diana's husband Charles who definately did not luuurve her, but play pokey with Camilla the Gorilla?

[ichkeria]

I've always like Ferguson after the ludicrous stick she got from the gutter press for being 'a bit fat'. Disgusting those papers were then and still are

[naomi24]

^^ Me too. Scatty bat - but I like her. :o)

[anneasquith]

that fgt is because, you don't know everything, :)

[ferlew]

Well, I am certainly pleased about it.
There is far too much meddling in the love lives of the Royals IMHO.

The rumour (in the papers) last week, was that Sarah Ferguson had been invited to Balmoral as a step towards re-establishing good relations prior to the forthcoming announcement of Princess Beatrice's engagement to some chap whose name I can't recall.

Now the rumour has altered to that of marriage between Andrew and Sarah.

Personally, I quite like the latter rumour, because it's got a nice 'soap opera' ring to it - almost like an Eastenders plot line. And also because they'd have to work out what her title would now be ("Do we give her the old one back, or make her duchess of somewhere else???")
